Re: Facebook wars
I have cut people out of my life at this point that espouse the big government, nanny state anti gun anti freedom party line because at this stage of my life I don't want or need those kind of people annoying me when I should be enjoying my life instead. It's too much to ask that I should have to put up with that line of thinking on my time.

That's fine. I will continue to proselytize any and all who will listen.
ETA : It may be workimg on my wife's cousin. After the attack on the Pulse she took a day off to drive to Tooney's office to discuss gun control measures. However, after the truck thing in Nice she actually stated that she mkght be coming around to my side and that she thinks that we may need to start following Isreal. I'll keep the pressure on until she sees the light.Last edited by Sandcut; August 4th, 2016 at 07:24 PM.

Re: Facebook wars
Don't get me wrong, you're doing the right thing. I have been fighting the good fight since the late 70's but now it's time for me to choose the battles and arguments so I don't wear myself out. I'm not old or frail just exasperated that after all these years of fighting for our rights we haven't done much better at advancing our position.
We still have some gun owners that fail to show up at voting time and we still have those among us that will vote for their own benefits from the public trough rather than advance freedom.
I don't mean to say I won't vociferously make the points that need to made toward those that oppose us. I just choose not have those kind of people around me as close friends.Corruption is the default behavior of government officials. JPC

Re: Facebook wars
Actually many have. Some will admit it and others won't. I can tell you that it was a Facebook activist group that brought to my attention the campus carry issue and made the practice of every day carry applicable to me. Before that I had pretty much assumed that crime could largely be avoided by choice of geography and demographics. Knowing that wasn't true anymore, that I could actually carry a sidearm daily (nobody ever talked about it to me before), and that there were state governments and an entire political and cultural movement actively against my simple right to survive (and enjoy all kinds of fun and family legacy) was a complete life change to me.

Re: Facebook wars
Good point, Yellowfin. As Jennifer above said, it's all about picking your battles. Some people are lost causes, but not all. And often it's not the people you're directly arguing with who are the ones you should be worried about changing. It's the silent crowd that's watching/reading/listening to your exchange.

Re: Facebook wars
It's been a while since I stirred shit on FB.
I just came from the Game Commission's shooting range. Out of the eight people there I counted no less than eight AR-15s and four AK-47-style rifles (among other firearms) being used by four Caucasions, three Hispanics and one African American. Everyone there was well behaved, cordial, collegial and safe. And not one firearm was used for anything other than punching holes in paper.
Perhaps the media's demographic portrayal of gunowners is incorrect.Sed ego sum homo indomitus

Re: Facebook wars
Is it possible to shoot an AR sideways?
